Julie Crews was born in Iowa, USA on December 1, 1956. She loved music since childhood and moved to New York after graduation. While working as a backing vocalist on Broadway, she met Angelo Badalamenti, who would become film director David Lynch's credit scorer. In 1986, at the recommendation of the latter, Lynch made Cruise sing the song "Mysteries of Love" at the end of his film "Blue Velvet", which established the partnership.
When Cruise released his debut album, "Floating into the Night," three years later, Lynch and Badaramenti both contributed to some of the composition. At about the same time, Lynch began to plan the TV series "Twin Peaks", and the soundtrack was naturally performed by his old partner Badaramanti, and Julie Cruise was responsible for singing for four of the songs. Lynch even made her a cameo as a bar singer. This role was later carried over into the movie "Twin Peaks: Walking With Fire" and the third season of the reboot after 25 years.
When it comes to the partnership with Lynch, Cruise once said that he is like his little sister, and the elder brother sometimes loses his temper at her, "As a younger sister, I always don't like my elder brother. It's calling the shots. He's getting angry and he's actually kind of funny, but I love him anyway."
In addition to David Lynch, Julie Cruise has also collaborated with German director Wim Wenders, who reprised her performance in the latter's "Until the End of the World." "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" sung by "Elvis".

In "Twin Peaks", the theme song "Falling" composed by Badaramanti left a deep impression on all who watched the series with its elegant and fantastic melody. At the beginning, the "Falling" used in the series used a purely instrumental version, but then Lynch filled in the lyrics himself, and asked Julie Cruise, who had an ethereal voice, to sing for it. As soon as the single was published, it immediately became popular in Europe and the United States, and even reached the top of the best-selling chart in Australia.When it comes to the partnership with Lynch, Cruise once said that he is like his little sister, and the elder brother sometimes loses his temper at her, "As a younger sister, I always don't like my elder brother.
